The fine line between art and bewildered.
We’ve got another double feature of odd news that proves that beauty truly is in the eye of the frustrated beholder. From questionable municipal investments to bizarre retail redesigns, things are getting a little weird. And we’re here for it.

Then, we head back to the Pacific Northwest, where a familiar corner shop has been totally reimagined into a showcase of beautifully frustrating concepts.

These two stories perfectly illustrate how someone’s creative vision can become someone else’s daily headache.
